Stone Lake, Jicarilla Indian Reservation April 14, 1974 (cont.) were gathered in the open areas on sitting on the ice — Amer. mergansers, buffleheads, gadwall, cinnamon teal, mallards, and a few wigeon, redheads, and cambrach. Several dozen eared grebes & 100 or more coots. Of greatest interest were a number of eagles, both bald and golden (mostly bald). At maximum there were 5 in view at once, but the lady at the hotel desk said there were 16 when the ice first opened. All the eagles were young — not a single adult of either species. We watched two ospreys fishing and saw them hit the water several times without making a strike. April 15, 1974 Continued our duck and eagle watch around Stone Lake. Then we drove pretty well all over the reservation looking to see some game — elk, deer, or turkeys. Saw only a coyote. Deer tracks near the Lodge and some old elk tracks, but no sign of turkeys. It turns out there was a massive die-off in a hard winter about 5 yrs. ago and Turkeys have not yet recovered. There are a few in S end of the reservation, none near Stone Lake. This year the heavy snow extending into April has precluded the Jicarilla Game Commission from opening the season so I was disappointed in my intent to try for a gobbler. Cold's got a car off the main road anyway — snow and mud. Drove over Wolf Creek Pass in PM and on to Denver April 16. Saw a prairie falcon en route near Pueblo.
